Acetic acid, azido-, ethyl ester → ethyl(4-{(S)-[(tert-butylsulfinyl)amino][5-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-2-yl]methyl}-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 50 ml round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar were added ethyl azidoacetate (0.193 g, 1.495 mmol), 2-methyl-N-{(1R)-1-[5-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-2-yl]prop-2-yn-1-yl}propane-2-sulfinamide (0.500 g, 1.495 mmol), freshly made 1.0 N sodium ascorbate (0.150 ml, 0.150 mmol), and 1.0 N Cu2SO4 (0.150 ml, 0.150 mmol) into 6.0 ml of a mixed solvent BuOH/H2O (1:1). The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuum. Purification by flash chromatography (SiO2, 50-80% ethyl acetate in hexanes, gradient) gave the title compound as a light yellow solid (0.365 g, 53%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.291 (d, J=2.93 Hz, 1H), 7.634 (s, 1H), 7.452 (d, J=8.79 Hz, 1H), 7.247 (ABq, J=3.03 Hz, 1H), 5.879 (d, J=5.50 Hz, 1H), 5.349 (d, J=5.31 Hz, 1H), 5.125 (ABq, J=7.49 Hz, 2H), 4.381 (q, J=7.87 Hz, 2H), 4.255 (q, J=7.14 Hz, 2H), 1.290 (t, J=7.14 Hz, 3H), 1.271 (s, 9H). ES-MS [M+1]+: 464.1.
